Chipper Jones out for season

Didn't see this posted anywhere but according to MLBtraderumors.com Chipper Jones is done for the year with a torn ACL. Not good at all I know they still play the cards 3-4 times I know this has to have some kind of negative consequence for the Braves. Might it cause them to slide in the East and in the wild card hunt? He might not be what he once was but he still had his moments. Hope he recovers and returns we know his numbers are real.

Could be the end of the line for Chipper, he's 38 and he'll turn 39 at the beginning of next season. Great player and definite Hall of Famer IMO, always felt like he didn't get the attention he deserved and was underrated. Hopefully he comes back and can put up a couple more decent seasons.

Is this HoF worthy?

Remember the guy could field his position and when it comes down to it he's quite possibly the best 3B of his era, only Scott Rolen can claim to be as good overall. Remember were not talking about a first baseman or a dh here, not as many 3b put up numbers like that.

Here are Chippers scores on the Hall of Fame statistics at Baseball Reference, the disparity between them is rather interesting.

Black Ink gives you points for leading the league in the major batting categories. More points are given for more flashy, important statistics, like homers rather than triples for instance. Gray Ink is similar but you get credit for being in the top 10 rather than just leading the league.

The final two are more complex but suffice to say you get points for milestones and awards you've won throughout your career. For a more detailed explanation see this link at BR. Many here have probably seen these metrics and might know more about them but its always good to give some context and explanation.
